COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT MINERAL RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT BILL, 2025
The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) submitted comments on the Draft Mineral Resources Development Bill, 2025, arguing that the Bill fails to adequately protect communities and the environment. The CER criticizes the 'One Environmental System' for creating a conflict of mandate within the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, advocates for the adoption of 'free, prior and informed consent' for communities, and warns that shortened timelines for environmental authorizations and consultations risk reducing public participation to a 'tick-box exercise'.
